In English classes, we're expected to advance from simple sentences to more complex sentences. So, while "Rain fell" technically has a subject/noun and a verb, most people would expect more information, such as an adverb to make the sentence sound more complete. For example: Rain fell hard all day.
Consider these simple sentences:
I walked.
He ran.
Both are more complete when we add information:
I walked to the store.
He ran home to get some money.

Rain fell is not a complete sentence. You have to add something before or after it to complete it.
This sentence uses personification by describing rain as if it were a person showing affection. It conveys a sense of gentleness and tenderness in the way the rain touches the person's cheeks.
No, "suddenly" is not a complete sentence. It is an adverb that describes how an action is performed in a sentence.

The independent clause in the sentence "When rain warms the ocean" is "rain warms the ocean." This clause can stand alone as a complete sentence because it contains a subject (rain) and a verb (warms).
Complete the sentence with "He".

umm..no?
frequently fell rapidly.
